Penrose singularity theorem

The Penrose Singularity Theorem suggests that if the universe contains matter that causes gravitational attraction and obeys specific energy conditions, then the fabric of spacetime must develop regions called singularities, where gravity becomes infinitely intense and the known laws of physics break down. Essentially, it indicates that under realistic conditions, the universe or collapsing stars inevitably lead to these "infinite gravity points," providing a theoretical foundation for the existence of black holes and emphasizing that singularities are a fundamental part of our universe’s structure.
